Vitantonio Liuzzi was given extra confidence in Brazil on Sunday, when both he and HRT team-mate Daniel Ricciardo out-qualified the Virgin Racing cars of Jérôme d’Ambrosio and Timo Glock, therefore lining up in 21st and 22nd positions.
“The car was a lot better than yesterday, especially the balance,” said Italian Liuzzi, whose 2010 Brazilian Grand Prix ended with a Turn 2 crash when racing for Force India.
“That was a good way to finish the season, in terms of qualifying, ahead of the Virgins. It’s also a good result for me after all the problems we had in Abu Dhabi, so it’s a great feeling to be back in business with a car that is working a hundred per cent, allowing us to fight with the others.
“We showed that, when things are working, we can perform and that’s what we’re here to do. It could be a crazy race tomorrow, as there is a chance of rain, so we’ll look forward to that.”
